Answer:

Rate constant = 0.01238 days⁻¹

Explanation:

The first order reaction has as general equation:

Ln[A] = -kt + Ln[A]₀

<em>Where [A] is concentration of the reactant after time t,</em>

<em>k is rate constant</em>

<em>And [A]₀ the initial concentration of the reactant</em>

<em />

The half-life is the time required to reach the half of the initial concentration. If [A]₀ = 1; [A] = 1/2

Replacing:

Ln[1/2] = -kt + Ln[1]

-0.693 = -k*56days

0.01238days⁻¹ = k

<h3>Rate constant = 0.01238 days⁻¹</h3>

What effect does hybridization have on chemical bond​
Charra [1.4K]
Effect of Hybridisation on Single, Double and Triple Bond Lengths of Carbon. Since the sp hybrid orbital contains more s-character (50%), it is closer to its nucleus; therefore, it forms shorter bonds. Because of the same reason sp2 hybrid orbital forms shorter bonds than sp3 hybrid orbitals.

What information about elements can be collected from the periodic table?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

A lot

Explanation:

- As you go down a group, the elements get larger in size

- All of the elements of the same group have the same # of valence electrons

- As you go to the right of a period, the # of electrons in the outermost shell increases

- The elements at the top right of the table have the highest electronegativity

- Groups 13 through 17 are nonmetals

- The last group contains noble gases

etc.
